. Lobelia is, ironically enough, North American Indian tobacco. The plant itself is called Lobelia while the extract is named Lobelia Inflata.
Lobelia Is A Respiratory Stimulant
Lobelia Inflata's primary purpose was to treat bronchial asthma and bronchitis. Today, it is used in Nicocure Pills because Lobelia is known to improve damage to the respiratory tract while concurrently expectorating the lungs quickly of mucous buildup.
Lobelia Is A Smoking Deterrent
There is another clear added benefit to Lobelia. Not only does Lobelia clean your lungs but it makes you not want to smoke. How? Lobelia also affects your taste buds in that cigarettes begin to taste more and more unpleasant. Thus, your desire to smoke is adversely affected.
Lobelia Is A Respiratory Relaxant
We all know that smokers attempting to quit get jittery and anxious. Withdrawal anxiety can ruin your day. Fingers move as if they’re tapping drums, heads twitch, legs can’t stay still, etc. Well, Lobelia combats that, as well. It is a relaxant and helps to promotes calmness and tranquility.
Lobelia Inflata Ingredients
Lobelia Inflata contains Lobeline and Isolobelanine, the former a respiratory stimulant and the latter a respiratory relaxant. The combined action of stimulation and relaxation is truly an interesting holistic approach to smoking cessation and physiologic recovery.
It is used like i said in champix and the americans use it in nicocure etc......
I have read it can have a toxic effect on some people , so i started with one 60mg a day and slowly crept up to the recommended 3 a day .......
It is also referred to as pukeweed , because years ago when people got food poisioning etc taken in excess it makes the body vomit ............though this is in a very high dose......
some places sell it at 340mg per tablet and personally i think this is way too much so if anyone is considering it i would buy it in a lowered form around the 40mg-60mg .
